Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

Humans can explain why they consciously act, but it’s hard to clarify their unconscious actions. When we can’t explain our unconscious behaviors, we often feel a sense of fear. We perform many actions unconsciously without realizing it, but if we can’t explain why, our brains invent their own stories. Humans are naturally drawn to and affected by stories. Fear arises when we’re in a situation that can’t be explained by our stories. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans believe they are thinking, but they cannot artificially interfere with their thought processes. This means you cannot deliberately manipulate human consciousness. While memory can be artificially altered, thinking processes cannot. If it were possible, the individual might be a psychopath. Human consciousness is governed by the unconscious. So, if you want to solve an unresolved problem, don’t focus on it directly; instead, briefly use your consciousness, and then the unconscious will handle it. Over time, at the right moment, the unconscious offers a solution to the conscious mind. Inspiration occurs at this point. Therefore, don’t get too caught up in it. Also, give your brain a rest. That’s why sleeping and sometimes being dazed are so important for creative inspiration. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The human brain is controlled by the unconscious mind. Voting to increase US school funding usually gains more support in schools than in churches. Conversely, votes on abortion in churches are often more opposed than in schools. When asked if the location affected their decision, voters often dismiss it as nonsense. Humans don’t realize that their behavior is driven by the unconscious. For example, if someone is holding hot coffee during a meeting, they are more likely to see me as warm. If they have iced coffee, they might see me as cold. This is based on studies in cognitive psychology. We are motivated by the unconscious, even if we don’t admit it. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Cognitive science states that humans communicate with 30% of "linguistic information" and 70% of "non-linguistic information." Suppose you study something to acquire information, focusing on it with conscious awareness. In that case, any activity you engage in unconsciously throughout your daily life is "playing." It is challenging to maintain focus on a task for an extended period. However, engaging in play adds enjoyment to intellectual pursuits, allowing for sustained attention. Studying in a limited capacity will only make you proficient in specific areas, but play can facilitate a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding. Parents often err by separating study and play, they are two sides of the same coin. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
